About the Author

John M. Budd is a professor in the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies at the University of Missouri-Columbia is the winner of the 2002 Highsmith Library Literature award (formerly the G.K. Hall Award for Library Literature). He has authored numerous publications and articles in professional and scholarly journals and has given presentations at national and state conferences.

The 47 cases explored in this book describe successful programs which include a wide range of types of engagement (single assignments through certificate programs) with unique and rare materials and archival approaches and methodologies.

Edited by Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe and Melissa Autumn Wong, the book includes an introduction to student affairs and student development, followed by case studies of successful collaborations co-authored by student affairs and library professionals.

This important book deepens our understanding of how academic libraries can better serve students’ needs, and also serves as a model for other researchers interested in a user-centered approach to evaluating library services.
